Brinno

Brinno

Brinno, leader of the Canninefates when they joined in the Batavian rebellion at the mouth of the Rhine in AD69, who was according to Tacitus:

:a man of a certain stolid bravery and of distinguished birth. His father, after venturing on many acts of hostility, had scorned with impunity the ridiculous expedition of Caligula. His very name, the name of a family of rebels, made him popular. Raised aloft on a shield after the national fashion, and balanced on the shoulders of the bearers, he was chosen general" (Tacitus, "Histories, IV" [http://classics.mit.edu/Tacitus/histories.4.iv.html] ).
